Tab „Configuration“
Select the interrupt mode from the drop-down list. For a notebook computer with one
ibaFOB-io-ExpressCard it should be typically “Master mode internal”.
Enable the “In use” option if you want to use this card by ibaPDA-V6.
The board watchdog can also be enabled for the purpose of monitoring the proper op-
eration of ibaPDA-V6 by another system. If the watchdog is enabled then the board will
generate an alarm telegram when the acquisition is not running for more than 2 sec-
onds. The alarm telegram can only be used by the FO output channel (I/O manager:
“Alarms”).
In case of an alarm, all output values will be set to 0 (zero) in the alarm telegram.
The alarm is also activated during the reset of the computer. When the alarm occurs
then the red LED will be lit.
